“Alex Otti Strayed, But He’ll Come Back to APC”- Keyamo Says at Abia Airport Ceremony

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, recently stirred political conversation when he described Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, as a “prodigal son” during the ceremony for the Abia International Airport.
Keyamo hinted that Otti, who has switched political allegiances over the years, might eventually return to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Alex Otti’s political journey has seen several shifts. Originally a member of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), he joined the APC in 2020.
However, in the build-up to the 2023 general elections, Otti moved to the Labour Party (LP), a decision that ultimately led to his successful gubernatorial campaign and his victory as Governor of Abia State.
His victory signaled a significant political shift in the state, traditionally dominated by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
During his speech, Keyamo chose to focus on Otti’s political journey in a light-hearted manner, likening him to the biblical prodigal son.
“Today is not a day for politics,” Keyamo remarked.
“But yes, he strayed away. He was with us, and he strayed away like the prodigal son.”
The ceremony was a significant moment for Abia State, with the proposed Abia International Airport set to be located in Nsulu, in the Isiala Ngwa North Local Government Area.
Keyamo revealed that President Bola Tinubu’s decision to approve the location of the airport was influenced by his admiration for Governor Otti’s leadership and the support he commands among the people of Abia State.
“The President’s motivation was also the fact that he loves the governor of this state,” Keyamo stated.
“He loves his spirit. I know the comments he has made about the governor and how much people here love him.”

Singer Charly Boy Reacts to ADC’s 2027 Plans: “Is It About Change or Power?”

Nigerian singer Charly Boy has shared his thoughts on the recent political move by the political party African Democratic Congress (ADC).
It can be noted that the party is gearing up to challenge President Tinubu’s position in the 2027 elections.
The singer took to social media to express his thoughts on the move and questioned who the party is truly fighting for.
“Are they fighting for you, or fighting to sit where their enemies used to sit? Are they shouting ‘enough is enough’ because they’ve changed… or because they’re no longer the ones benefitting?”
“We don’t just need new names. We need new values, new visions, and people with the guts to live by them. 2027 is not about revenge. It’s about rescue.”

Amaechi Says Buhari Performed Better Than Tinubu

Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, believes that despite his shortcomings, former President Muhammadu Buhari performed better than the current administration under President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi admitted Buhari didn’t achieve everything he set out to do, but insisted that things were still better under his leadership compared to now. “Buhari will be the first to tell you he didn’t accomplish all his plans, but by every standard, his government outperformed this one,” Amaechi said.
The former Rivers State governor pointed to areas like security and the independence of institutions, especially the electoral commission, as key areas where Buhari did better. “In terms of security, Buhari placed more focus there. When it comes to the independence of INEC, there was far more freedom under Buhari than we’re seeing now,” he added.
Amaechi also criticised the current state of politics, claiming that new political parties can’t even get registered because of interference from government officials. He made it clear that his comments are not personal, saying he would have been the first to commend President Tinubu if things were going well.

Amaechi Says It’s Time for a Southern President to Rule Nigeriar

Former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi has maintained that Nigeria’s next president should come from the South. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi stressed that while power should shift to the South, competence and character must be the key factors in choosing leaders, not just regional sentiment.
He pointed out that the coming elections won’t just be about political parties but will be a fight between everyday Nigerians and the political class. In his words, “Nigeria belongs to everyone. We can’t keep running a system where one region holds all the power and others are sidelined. There are capable leaders in the South. It’s time to restore balance and deliver real results.”
Amaechi added that the elections should not be based on blind party loyalty, saying, “This is about Nigerians taking a stand against the political elite. If we truly want change, now is the time to act.” He believes the South is prepared to take the lead, promising a platform that gives every Nigerian a voice and renewed hope.
